Chem 20262: Mathematical Methods for the Chemical Sciences

Steven Corcelli

A new required course has been introdcued into the University of Notre Dame chemistry curriculum, CHEM 20262: Mathematical Methods for the Chemical Sciences. This course will focus on three core topics that are critical for success in upper-level chemistry courses: probability and statistics, ordinary differential equations, and linear algebra. The benefits to the students will be greater mathematical sophistication and aptitude, an appreciation for the role of mathematics in chemistry, and, most importantly, increased confidence.
